                 SPIE Communications changes its name to SPIE ICS

The company is changing in order to meet the digital changeover of companies and
                    the digitalisation needs of vertical markets

Malakoff, 25 March 2016 - SPIE Communications, the SPIE group's digital services
subsidiary, sets out clearly the ambitions of its strategic plan 'Ensemble 2018'
("Together 2018") and is now a key player of the digital transition in the
international economic landscape. The company specialising in Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) has revealed its ambitions and wishes to enter
new national and international markets.

SPIE Communications intends in particular to strengthen its ties with
medium-sized companies and with national and international key accounts in order
to anticipate and to make its business evolve. This last point meets a major
challenge for prospects and customers of digital business: simplification of the
digital experience and its uses.

These ambitions are translated today into the name change of SPIE Communications
which becomes SPIE ICS. This new identity represents a milestone in the
company's development and SPIE ICS follows the same logic as the other ICS
digital divisions of the Group present in the German, Dutch and Swiss markets.

"World is changing. Digital transition affects our society, is revolutionising
our habits and force us to rethink our models. New growth expectations appear,
but also new challenges. In this context, we decided to change our identity and
to become SPIE ICS", said Vincent Magnon, Managing Director  of SPIE ICS. "This
new identity represents a milestone in our development, supporting digital
change in companies. Since you target key accounts or medium-sized companies,
you need to know how to deploy infrastructures which should stretch far beyond
the borders of France."

SPIE ICS has also entirely re-thought its organisation in order to give a
verticalised approach of its business. It concerns the user environment as well
as data center, or secure infrastructures and unified communications. The
company also covers the full chain value of IT services: consulting &
engineering, integration, IT facilities management & maintenance, Cloud &
managed services.

"Digital business is designed to be applied along the value chain of companies'
information and communications services", concludes Vincent Magnon.

SPIE ICS wants to promote its capacities and expertise in Europe as well as on
the national territory. SPIE ICS will in particular strengthen its development
in Europe through synergies with the ICS subsidiaries of the SPIE group
specialising in the ICT, in the Netherlands, in Germany and in Switzerland. The
extension into new markets in Northern Europe is also considered.

More broadly, SPIE ICS wants to continue its involvement in the Global Workplace
Alliance (GWA) which allows it to assist its customers in more than 90 countries
around the world.
